Towards more sustainable material formulations: a comparative assessment of PA11-SGW flexural performance versus oil-based composites [PDF]

, 2018
The replacement of commodity polyolefin, reinforced with glass fiber (GF), by greener alternatives has been a topic of research in recent years. Cellulose fibers have shown, under certain conditions, enough tensile capacities to replace GF, achieving ...

Preparation and Characterization of Durian Husk Fiber Filled Polylactic Acid Biocomposites

MATEC Web of Conferences, 2018
Polylactic acid (PLA) is biodegradable thermoplastic that made from renewable raw material, but its high cost limited the application. Thus, addition of natural fiber can be effectively reduced the cost of PLA.
